The transmitters must be operational at the earliest possible date and in any event no later than 22 October 2015,Footnote 2 unless a request for an extension of time is approved by the Commission before that date. To ensure that such a request is processed in a timely manner, it should be submitted in writing at least 60 days before that date.

Furthermore, the Commission expects the licensee to do this for a period of at least three months from the day these authorities are issued and before the licensee ceases to broadcast in analog or changes channels, whichever is sooner.
